Horoscope for 16 October 2014

You are very insightful and often help others to better understand themselves. Artistically gifted, you have a real creative bent in addition to general “smarts”. You are exceptionally hard working and quite ambitious as well–a combination that virtually guarantees success.

ARIES: Hard work and mental stress takes a toll on you most days but today you are likely to get a brief opportunity to just kick your shoes off and spend a relaxing day with friends, talking about random things or indulging in light-hearted banter. Feel rejuvenated and completely relaxed, Aries. 3 pm to 5 pm will be lucky for you. Wearing something in bright red will bring you luck.

TAURUS: You may be feeling a bit edgy and might find yourself making the wrong decisions. Taurus, take the time to think about what you do. You may find yourself under heightened stress and pressure at this time. Circumstances will be created that ensure that you are able to get away from all this pressure for a few days. 4.15 pm to 5.15 pm is perfect for taking important decisions. Wear bright blue to attract the positive energies of the cosmic event.

GEMINI: Pisces, this is not a time to treat ailments and issues at the surface; you may find that you are finally getting to the core of the problem. This is a difficult process, but will leave you feeling new and improved when it is all said and done. 7 am to 8 am should be devoted to spiritual activities. Avoid the colour red today. Pastel colours will help keep your mind calm.

CANCER: Some news may be coming to you, foretells the Moon in Aries. If you have been looking for a job change this could be news of an excellent offer. If you are a student this could be a scholarship or admission to a university. It may be a new job if you were looking to become employed overseas. Either way, this is the time to re-think and avoid taking any hasty decision. Scheduling any important work during 5 pm to 6 pm will be beneficial for you.

LEO: The Moon in Aries brings out your nurturing side and helps you understand other’s emotions. Taurus, your neutrality is appreciated, as well as the knowledge that you care about the well-being of this person. The friendship you provide today will do a world of good for your friend and your kindness will be repaid in the future. Wear something in bright orange. Today is a good day to sign contracts and the best time for it would be 11 am to 3 pm.

VIRGO: The Moon in Aries finds you drawing on all your interpersonal skills to mediate some tensions among people around you. Virgo, you play the role of the mediator effectively and keep the situation from getting worse. You may not necessarily become caught up in the drama but you may be called upon to act as a mediator.

LIBRA: With the Moon stationed in Aries, it is your obsession to travel to different places that will dominate your thoughts and may even be responsible for making you a little frustrated. Libra, you feel pulled in many different directions and your travel partner also wants to go somewhere that is not on your list. However, being not so rigid will work well for you. Today is the day to enjoy dear Libra; wasting it over trifles will only serve to repel the positive cosmic energies. You are advised to steer clear of arguments today; indulging in an argument will not only affect your happy mood but also come in the way of your travelling plans.

SCORPIO:The Moon in Aries brings out your benevolent side. Scorpio, today you may find yourself extending help to those around you, with no selfish motive whatsoever other than the good feeling it gives you. Relationships will be very high on your list of priorities today, whether with those close to you or with those unknown to you previously. You will enjoy the feeling of bonding and enjoy the time spent with your loved ones.

SAGITTARIUS: As the Moon transits in Aries, Sagittarius, try to keep your argumentative tendencies in check. You may feel slightly agitated and just want to flex your muscles but it is important that you do not vent out in a manner that will offend others. Giving in to your temper will only serve to make the situation worse and alienate people away from you. You will feel better at the end of the day if you accomplish your goals and feel at peace with yourself and those around you. Meditation and spirituality will help you stay focused and not yield into the temptation of getting into arguments and fights.

CAPRICORN: The Moon in Aries brings you closer to your family. Capricorn, spend time with your family today; you can leave your work and worries behind for a day. It is all right to ditch your work sometimes in favour of your family. This is a time full of warmth and rapport for people in close relation to each other, so appreciate that your family is in your life. Treasure these moments as they do not last forever. 7 pm to 8 pm is the luckiest hour of the day.

AQUARIUS: As the Moon enters Aries, someone close to you could spring an unpleasant surprise on you today. The issue may or may not affect you directly, Aquarius. However, be prepared for whatever the case may be and try not to become angry or unsupportive. They need your understanding and guidance. Show them the right way by talking to them about choices and consequences. Wearing something in lemon colour is lucky for you. 3.30 pm to 4.30 pm is indicated to be the luckiest hour of the day.

PISCES: The Moon in Aries creates the right conditions for you to finish off important tasks. This is a favourable day to start and finish work that needs the approval of a higher authority, especially if the matter has been pending. You will be able to come up with brilliant ideas. Use all your energy and contacts and try to push your paperwork through. Make sure you keep all the documents ready and facts in place as the removal of hurdles from your path today will be a real blessing. You must complete all pending work by 6 pm, to guard yourself from the negative cosmic energies.
